When I was young,I really wanted a new bike!As a1boy,I told my parents my birthday wish,and I knew there was little hope because my family could hardly have that money.
2my birthday,my parents told me that they had my gift outside in the backyard.At once,I rushed out to the yard.There was my bike,but it wasn’t the bike 3I thought it would be.This one was pink,old and worn with age.It was so4!
I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces and I was sure they could see it on5.I got on the bike and rode it,feeling bad that I had made my parents6so bad.So I rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by,I had many other experiences and began to understand I7 something more than just a rusty(生锈的)old bike.My parents gave me a life lesson about love.When you give something out of love,it doesn’t matter8in fact.What matters is9love that is in it.I always remember this story10 giving a gift is not about money.It is about how much love you can feel from it.Do remember,a gift that costs two dollars isn’t any less valuable than one that costs two hundred dollars,or even more.
